Dr. Harrington said even Jesus Christ knew Hebrew only as a “dead language,” much as schoolboys know Latin today. The spoken language of Christ’s time was Aramaic. “The kingdom of Judah, during which the newly-found inscriptions were written, and concerning which the book of kings in the Bible relates, flourished between 900-600 B. C.” said Dr. Harrington. “It was the old kingdom of the Jews and from its name in the ancient Hebrey language, pronounced Yehudah, is derived the modern word ‘Jew.’ By the Associated Press. The newly-found inscriptions in ancient Hebrew, which date back to! the days of Solomon and the Queen | of Sheba, are termed “one of the| most valuable contributions ever made to biblical history” by a language ex- pert. } Dr. John P. Harrington of the Smithsonian Institution said the in- | scription, focund in the southwestern corner of Palestine by a British arch- | eological expedition, may lead to far- reaching revisions of some parts of biblical history. “The Hebrew Bible has been trans- mitted to us as copies of copies in the Hebrew, Aramaic or West Syriac, ard Greek languages and corroboration of its events has hitherto come scarcely at all through the finding of ancient archeological writings in these lan- guages, but from Egyptian and Baby- lonian sources and from general re- sults of Palestinian archeological studies.
